What were you thinking.

You have a problem: a big one.
Your religions are at odds with each other, and you have both ignored your personal faiths for your infatuation. These faiths are NOT interchangeable!
Christianity says that Jesus is THE Son of Almighty God, the only sinless person, the Saviour of the world, the Messiah, the Ressurected Lord, God Almighty.
Islam says that Jesus of Nazareth (Isa in their religion) was a good man, and a godly man, but NOT the Son of God. Islam admits Jesus was a prophet, but NOTHING MORE. Not the Christ, not God, not the Messiah.
REGARDLESS of what some Muslims will say about a mixed marriage being allowed....
YOUR BOYFRIEND WANTS YOU TO ABANDON YOUR FAITH FOR HIS.
Are you willing to do that? Can you say that everything you learned about the Christ of God was a LIE, invented by the Apostles? A mistake (if you want to be more polite), for which they were tortured to death? Jesus the Fraud, and not the Messiah?
More importantly, would you ever BELIEVE THAT?
If you cannot, or will not, change your beliefs about Jesus Christ, then this relationship will not work. Get out now. Find your BFF, and cry your eyes out. Cry to your mom. Cry to your grandma. But get out of this relationship.
Who is Jesus Christ? That is what you must ask yourself. The truth won't change no matter how you feel about another person.

No your facts are wrong. Islam allows for a Muslim man to marry (preferably) a Muslim woman, a Christian woman or a Jewish woman. A Muslim woman can only marry a Muslim man. Dating is against Islam so your "Boyfriend" is sinning by dating you. The children will be raised Muslim of course because all children take the religion of their fathers and because in Islam we are taught that all children are born Muslim.

If you're just "religious" who cares "what" you believe?? If you have a LIVING relationship with JESUS than ditch all of that RELIGIOUS crap ASAP!! But!! If you are TRUELY a believer in JESUS, there is a lot at stake joining yourself to a Muslim...
Followers of CHRIST believe: Man is by nature sinful and has need for redemption by the atonement of Jesus Christ (Romans 5:6, 8:32, Colossians 1:19-20, Hebrews 7:26-27, 9:26, 10:12, 1st John 4:10)
Followers of ISLAM believe: Man is basically good but prone to mistakes. Muslims who repent and submit to God return to a state of sinlessness, with no help from Christ (or anyone) needed.
These are issues that should be considered CRITICAL MASS issues.....

Your boyfriend really needs to learn more about his own religion because he CAN marry a Christian woman (or a Jewish or Muslim woman) and she DOES NOT have to convert. When I met and married my husband I was not Muslim and our marriage was perfectly accepted. I am Muslim now, but it had nothing to do with our marriage and he did not pressure me in any way to convert. I was studying Islam before we met and continues to do so after we married. Converting was completely my own decision.

Convert to a muslim woman. I promise you you will learn to love it. There is more to this religion then you can imagine. You are being given the chance GOD gives everyone. Take it. If you love him so much , then it should not be hard to convert. I am a muslim and i am marrying a Christian Girl, she wants to convert to Islam in her own will. She didn't want to first but she realized something. You will too. You will be a part of his life and he will be yours. Oh in islam a man or a woman does not convert to any other religion. If someone does, they doom themselves and anyone with them. If you boy friend is wise he wont convert cuz he wont want any harm to come to you. We believe in eternal life, and what we do on earth decides our Heaven or Hell. And it is said , any one who did good on earth shall enter Heaven and be there with their wives. If he doesn't want to convert , by now you should know why. CUZ !! he loves you and does not want to doom you and him along with it. But most of all he will always what is best for you. You love him? then prove it. Now is the chance, take the biggest leep of your life. Something great waits you.

Christian women should not date Muslims. The fact that you have to denounce Christ should be enough for ya. Have you ever heard about these American Christian women who marry these Muslim men, then he decides he's leaving and taking the kids to Allah land and they can't get their kids back.You better think long and hard and if you do have a relationship with Jesus Christ, you better start talking to Him, and listening for His answer. The Bible tells you not to be unequally yoked. That's pretty clear. If you believe Christ is the only payment for your sins and therefore your only way to be reconciled to your heavenly Father, wouldn't you want to teach that to your children? Do you think he's going to allow that. Oh' child, please think twice. God bless!!!

If you had any sense you would leave this guy alone and marry a christian. He is not going to convert. The kids have to be raised muslim, have to. Leave him alone and let him marry a muslim woman who knows him and his religion better than you.

As a Christian woman, you have no business dating a Muslim. You don't even believe the same thing. The Bible warns against being unequally yoked. As a Christian, you'd believe Jesus is God, the Christ, and Lord. He believes Jesus was merely a prophet. If he is Muslim and you're Christian, you really have nothing in common.
Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
Amos 3:3 KJV
Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? What accord has Christ with Belial? Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever?
2 Corinthians 6:14-15 ESV
My advice to you is to break up with him, repent to the Lord, and keep it moving... striving to follow Christ. Who is your 1st allegiance to ? Your boyfriend or to the Lord ?

Islam allows Muslim men to marry women from amongst the Jews or Christians but not the idol worshippers.
One example is --- Arafats wife is still a Christian.....
